2007 4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.5L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Infiniti has always been a reliable car with quality workmanship see full Infiniti M review
2006 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Good, although local dealer has a monopoly, and thus overpriced locally. works against me when I want to buy. The Grand prix, is very good value for the money, and my wife still prefers the Grand Prix. The M is big and heavy, G is quicker, but more common see full Infiniti M review
2004 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.5L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 People driving other luxury cars that it competes with know not to screw with an M45. Drivers of cars it does not directly compete with (who are car people) know what it is capable of & unless they purposely bought a rocket, will leave the M alone. see full Infiniti M review

7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I am very unhappy that Infiniti is rebadging its entire product line. The car will go the way of the Dodo after only three model years. Not good for resale value. see full Infiniti M review
